Letter: President's lies are reason for disliking him

My 10-year-old granddaughter asked me the other day why I disliked our president.

I told her that our president has the innate ability to not tell the truth. There may be a shred of truth in some of the things that he says, but he will twist the truth to make himself look better. His Unaffordable Care Act did it for me when he said: “You could keep your doctor and your health care plan and everyone would cut their health care costs by $2,500.”

He didn’t say it just once; he said it 20 to 30 times.

In my day, my dad used to say: “A man’s word was as good as his bond.” In the case of our president and our career politicians, it seems like the ends justify the means. Morals don’t seem to matter.

If you want a great example of a person with no morals, look at President Bill Clinton. I believe that a person’s integrity is all you have in life.

I also strongly believe we need term limits and what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. The House and the Senate get the exact same privileges, the same health care plans as any American citizen.
